n April, China published a list of 100 most wanted fugitives and has launched campaigns dubbed "Operation Foxhunt" and "Operation Skynet."
The "most wanted" list includes photos and identification numbers of former local government officials, police officers, accountants and more, who are suspected of taking bribes, embezzling funds and laundering money.
Yang's forced return marks the first time that China has succeeded in getting the United States to comply since it published the list.
Twelve others have been repatriated from other countries.
While the U.S. doesn't have an extradition treaty with China, the State Department can still return fugitives to China.
